Background

Dr Rosengren is an Associate Professor at the School of Biomedical Sciences, University of Queensland. He completed his PhD, which focused on structure-activity relationships of antimicrobial peptides, under the supervision of Professor David Craik at the Institute for Molecular Bioscience, UQ, in 2003. After two years of post-doctoral work at IMB he moved to Sweden in 2005 to take up a position as Assistant Professor at Linnaeus University, Kalmar. During 2008-2009 he held a joint appointment between Linnaeus University and Uppsala University. In 2009 he was awarded the Swedish “Docent” title before returning to University of Queensland as a Senior Research Officer, funded by an NHMRC Career Development Award and an ARC Future Fellowship. Dr Rosengren’s research focuses on structure activity relationships of bioactive peptides, in particular peptide hormones and the use of NMR spectroscopy in the design of novel peptide drug leads.

Available projects

  • Modulating the relaxin-3 neuropeptide receptor to treat anxiety and depression

    The relaxin-3 neuropeptide hormone is involved in criticial signalling controlling motivation and arousal thus its receptor RXFP3 is a potential target for new drugs for depression, anxiety and control of food intake. Out lab has 20 years experience in structure based design of peptide modulators targeting this receptor. Student working in this project will have an opportunity to be involved in peptide design and structural studies using NMR specstroscopy, peptide synthesis and chemistry, as well as functional and stability assays.
